Sales Forecast and Budget Development

The most common way to forecast Sales is to compute future sales goals by using past results and adding a certain percentage increment. However, it should be understood that this can be prone to various problems and concerns.

1. It can de-motivate salespeople especially if they feels the forecasts are too unrealistic2. Assuming that sales performance should be better than last year without considering all other pertinent factors could lead to failed expectations3. Pushing salespeople to achieve higher sales forecasts without giving them a chance to participate could lead to resistance and negative performance.

In the case of sales budgets, the primary issue is that even though the Sales Group is a supposed to be a profit center, it is also one of the biggest cost centers in a company. The concern of top management is that the return on every peso spent should be greater, especially in challenging business times. This puts the sales leaders in a dire situation. As sales targets increase, the sales budgets decrease.

The key point is to understand the ROI concept that although for salespeople the customer is king, on the side of the company, cash is king. The returns should be justified and substantial enough to sustain the company's growth and success in the marketplace.

This seminar focuses on the importance of pegging sales forecasts and developing sales budgets with an ROI mindset. Not only returns in terms financial investments but also in terms of time, effort and other investments that we make in each customer in our client base. This program presents key concepts and tools to help the participants realize the importance of cost vs. benefit in forecasting, spending their budgets or investing their time and effort.

The expected result is to develop a more holistic mindset in the participants as they carry out their forecasting and budgeting functions. This would not only benefit their sales teams and their companies, but most importantly their most valuable customers to strengthen the sales relationships that they build.
